"Growing up, I had such issues with my skin. It was either too oily or too dry; I had hyperpigmentation, so there were patches and uneven skin tone, so I had a really hard time with my skin," she says. One product that's been a core part of her skin-care routine is the Aavrani Moisturizing Hydra-Cream ($38). "I use it every night, and I swear to god, I was like, 'Holy crap, it looks like I just drank a gallon of water. My skin is plump from the hyaluronic acid and feels so fresh.'" she says. She loves how the brand uses natural ingredients that she grew up with, like turmeric and rose. Along with hyaluronic acid and squalane, this moisturizer also contains Ayurvedic ingredients such as lychee fruit, which is rich in antioxidants, and tamarind seed, which provides that smooth and conditioned texture to your skin. It's also an editor favorite — read our review of the Aavrani Moisturizing Hydra-Cream here.
Pro Tip: Taank suggests scaling down your skin-care routine to three to four products for your skin's needs. She uses the brand's Balance Restoring Serum too, as well as the Nivea Cellular Luminous 630 serum, which helps fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation, followed by the moisturizer and SPF in the morning.
